    This video addresses forgiveness as coming too soon, being used as a way to escape discomfort, instead of allowing us & our world to be changed by the discomfort.

    Having a hard time with people

    This is what I'm going through: Proverbs 17:9 He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends. The people around me are refusing to forgive me for an offense, and all day every day they remind me of what happened to me...

I don't know much about Catholics, so this is a surprise to me. I can't believe what I'm reading. Here's the link. Church forgives sins of those stricken...

    Please pray for the anti-Christ, that many be prepared to forgive him - peace waits!

This distinction is important, because how we respond to someone beginning to become an enemy...
